Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping Dangzhi County Text Volume Chapter 136 Lao Zhu was shockedLatest website:After a while.
A lot of fresh green vegetables were carefully placed in Fengtian Hall by a group of guards.
"Father, this..."
Zhu Biao leaned over his fat body with some difficulty, buried his head in front of the pile of vegetables and looked at them one by one for a long time, then slowly stood up, his face full of excitement.
"Father, the fourth child has actually grown vegetables in Peiping. This is really a blessing!"
Lao Zhu also had his eyes wide open. He took the pile of vegetables in front of him and looked through them one by one. His face was full of joy, and he was even more excited than Zhu Biao.
"These are indeed newly grown vegetables. We thought that the fourth boy wanted to grow vegetables in winter because it was so cold in Beiping. We didn't expect that they actually grew them."
As he said that, Lao Zhu raised his head and looked at Erhu beside him.
"Is the person who sent Fu Rui still there?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the general has arranged for someone to take them to rest." Erhu quickly replied.
"Very good."
Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction, "Each person will be rewarded with another hundred taels of silver."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Erhu responded quickly and retreated.
In the main hall, Lao Zhu once again looked at the vegetables in front of him and walked around excitedly for two times. Then he took out a courgette, regardless of the ice shards still frozen on it, wiped it with his hand and put it in his mouth.
, and started eating with a crunching sound.
"Biao'er, when we were young, our family was so poor that we didn't even have enough chaff to eat every day. Who would have thought that now that we are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even in winter, the fourth child of our family can actually grow such tender and sweet vegetables in winter?
Vegetables?"
"Try it, Biao'er. The courgettes produced by the four old species are sweeter and crisper than the courgettes grown by the people in Zhejiang and Fujian..."
"Yes, Father!"
Zhu Biao also picked up a courgette, wiped it carefully a few times, then put it in his mouth, took a bite, and frowned slightly.
Ice, hard!
As for the so-called sweet and crispy, there is none.
However, Zhu Biao still endured it and ate it.
"Father, what do you do with so many vegetables?"
Old Zhu's body trembled, and he snorted coldly and said: "Didn't each of those ministers complain to you that the fourth man is in Beiping Mansion, hiring a group of people all day long to do some weird and craftsmanship, and not to do production?
Then let’s use the two carts of vegetables presented by Lao Si to hold a Fu Rui banquet and let them all see for themselves how much Lao Si attaches importance to farming who can grow vegetables in winter?
Let’s see if these ministers have the dignity to say that the fourth child is not involved in farming..."
"Father is wise!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, thinking of the ministers' expressions after seeing the vegetables produced by Lao Sisi, and his whole body was filled with relief.
Soon, as Lao Zhu's decree was passed down, all the military officials and nobles in the entire Yingtian Mansion were filled with disbelief.
In a bitterly cold place like Peiping, where the land is as stiff as hard rock in winter and no grass grows, you can still grow vegetables?
No matter how they thought, none of the civil servants could figure out how King Yan could grow vegetables. Could it be that King Yan dared to deceive the king?
As for the military commanders and nobles, their faces were full of joy.
Especially, when a piece of news came out from the Zhongshan Palace, the generals were even more proud.
The civil servants were stunned. Did King Yan of Beiping Mansion really grow vegetables?
Immediately, news came one after another from Beiping Mansion.
The Prince of Yan's Mansion distributed vegetables to his subordinates.
Prince Yan's Mansion sells vegetables to the people of Beiping Mansion.
A pound of vegetables is worth one tael of silver, but all the gentry and merchants in Beiping Prefecture are rushing to buy it?
At least thousands of kilograms of vegetables were sold a day...
Suddenly, some people were shocked, while others were jealous.
Even Lao Zhu angrily called him a bastard.
However, Beiping Mansion is thousands of miles away from Yingtian Mansion, so even if you have other ideas, it will be of no use.
Immediately afterwards, as the Fuli Banquet began, the ministers in the capital also stopped.
There is nothing they can do if they don't stop. With Lao Zhu suppressing them, they don't dare to have any real thoughts about the princes of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, King Yan can grow vegetables in winter!
And in Beiping Mansion.
After receiving Lao Zhu's edict, Zhu Di's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said with hatred: "These bastards are eating the inside out."
Looking at the list handed over by Zhu Liang and others, Guo An also had a look of hatred on his face.
"Your Highness, these fools dare to complain to the courtiers in Yingtian City and frame Your Highness. Their sweaters, iron stoves, glass, and vegetables are all gone this winter.
Not only is it gone this year, it’s gone next year as well.”
Zhu Di said coldly: "Huh, it's time to teach these gentry some lessons."
"Wei Chen understands."
Guo An nodded solemnly, and then gave instructions directly to Zhu Liang and Li Wang below in front of Zhu Di, Zhu Fu and others.
"The Lord humiliated his ministers to death. These gentry were so disobedient to morality that they turned rain upon the wind. They complained to all the ministers in the capital against His Highness, which prompted His Majesty to warn His Highness that this revenge had to be avenged.
Please tell me that no shop in our house will sell anything to these idiots from now on."
"Yes, Guo Changshi!"
Zhu Liang and Li Wang responded quickly.
Zhu Fu's eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.
As for Zhu Di, he walked towards the inner courtyard with an expressionless face.
Not to mention the power of Prince Yan's Mansion itself, even with the important status of controlling all glass, vegetable, coal, iron stove, and sweater workshops in Beiping Mansion.
As soon as the Yan Palace ban was issued, the gentry felt uncomfortable.
The lack of charcoal, iron stoves, sweaters, vegetables and other necessary winter items did not have a great impact on them.
However, some officials, gentry, merchants, and even some common people were subconsciously alienating them because they were worried about being affected by their cooperation with the shops under Prince Yan's residence.
